It says unknown device - properties show it as a PCI Express Root Complex No drivers installed (Code 28) Can anyone help Solved Go to Solution.
We have a variety of other options available (including large amounts of devices on a single PCI-E root complex). Since then I have a hardware issue, one driver wont update/install and I cant find a driver anywhere. While the layout above may not be ideal for all projects, it performs well for many applications. The final x4 slot can be used for low-end devices. In total, you end up with eight x16 slots and two x8 slots evenly divided between two PCI-Express root complexes. For technologies such as GPU Direct, this means rapid RDMA transfers between the GPUs and the network (which can significantly improve performance).

Having one additional x8 slot on each CPU allows for the accelerators to communication directly with storage or high-speed networks without leaving the PCI-E root complex.

Although these slots are not compatible with accelerator cards, they are excellent for networking and/or storage cards. The remaining 8 lanes of PCI-E from each CPU (along with 4 lanes from the Southbridge chipset) provide connections for the remaining PCI-E slots. PCI-Express switches (the purple boxes labeled PEX8747) further expand each CPU’s tree out to four x16 PCI-Express gen 3.0 slots.Each CPU provides 32 lanes of PCI-Express generation 3.0 (split as two x16 connections).Two CPUs are shown in blue at the bottom of the diagram.It’s a bit difficult to parse, but the important points are: To illustrate, let’s look at the PCI-Express design of Microway’s latest 8-GPU Octoputer server: We dive deeply into these issues in our post about Common PCI-Express Myths.
Servers and workstations with multiple processors have multiple PCI-Express root complexes.
Additionally, certain high-performance features – such as NVIDIA’s GPU Direct technology – require that all components be attached to the same PCI-Express root complex. Unfortunately, it’s not so simple, because each CPU only has a certain amount of bandwidth available.
I tried to install that link you provided for the poster but that didn't work as my laptop model is not on that list lol.It is tempting to just look at the number of PCI-Express slots in the systems you’re evaluating and assume they’re all the same. Since my computer issue seems very alike the original poster and you helped solve the poster's issue, could you please kindly see if you could help me to get this to work by advising what I should install?. I am not very good at troubleshooting these things, and have ran out of ideas what to try. I have tried googling the numbers on the card, use the troubleshoot feature of Windows to try seek for drivers, have tried installing a few updates and drivers, all no luck. Re: Pci Express Root Complex Driver Windows 8 Dell Post by Detective Mon 6:08 am Below you can download pci express root complex windows 8 dell driver for Windows. I purchased a PCI Express Card on Ebay and the driver disc does not work, My Dell laptop recognises the driver in the Express Card Slot, but due to not having a driver to install, I cannot get it to work. I think I am having a similar issue as the original poster.
